Memory Care Communities in Salt Lake City, UT

"I liked Sunrise of Sandy because it was nice, very homey, and clean. The residents were so nice. I wanted to live there myself when the time comes. The staff was very friendly. The room was very nice. There were a lot of different places to sit in various areas of the facility. Everything was kept trimmed and cleaned. There were also different areas to go outside and sit in. They had different activities planned each day like outings. I saw some residents doing some crafts and some doing board games."

"We found Legacy House of South Jordan for my mom and she moved there. They fit the needs of my mom, the staff is very kind and helpful, and very prompt to try to find a resolution to any problem. The room is a studio, but it's plenty big for her. We haven't been to the dining area yet, the food is good, it's not great, but it's OK. They have just about everything that other places do. We haven't been able to do anything yet, but that's because of my mom. They do have activities and they have a salon."

"I like that Cedarwood at Sandy is going to be close to family. Their food is excellent and their two-bedroom apartment is very large. They also have little cottages. Their rooms were the largest two-bedroom ones we saw. The upkeep was excellent. Their dining area was nice."

"Crescent Senior Living is the perfect place for my parents. Everyone is so nice and they go above and beyond our expectations in every aspect. It is a beautiful facility delicious food and the kindest and best care. Love this place!"

"The tour at Copper Creek Senior Living was very professional. The tour guide, Jenny, was helpful. She answered all my questions. Everything was just very professional and understandable. I was impressed with the facility, and the people who work there seem to be happy and have been there for a long time. It was great. They had everything anybody would need. There's a salon, therapy, and an exercise room. There is somebody there all the time. There are menus that are available all day. I like the location because it's very close to me, and Costco is right across the street, and lots of shopping if anybody is interested in that. They do excursions. They have lots of activities. I liked the size of the rooms a lot. The rooms are larger than the other place I toured. I am planning on going back with my parents next week for dinner. It's very clean."

"I toured Valencia at Draper. They have a lot of things going on to help keep the patients busy doing things to keep them happy. The rooms are pretty good. I thought that the studio apartment is a little small, but under the circumstances and depending on what you're going to do with it, it's still OK. The place was well kept. The dining area was good, well kept, and it had plenty of room. The staff members were great. They were very attentive. They stayed with us the whole time and answered any questions that we had. You couldn't ask for better people to ask questions and to help you with whatever you needed."

"My mom has moved into The Peaks at South Jordan. She is doing great there. They're providing much more care to her than the other facility. I worked with the marketing person, the executive director, and a couple of the nurses, and all of them have been great. The executive director was very good at explaining their care system and how they go about taking care of particularly demented patients, and so it was very, very helpful to work with her. She gave me great advice about using the house doctor and how that would be good for my mom. My mom's room is a very nice private room. They furnished a bed and a nightstand, so I didn't have to do that. We just had to furnish a dresser and her personal effects. She has her own bathroom and shower with safety chairs and rails that she's been using successfully with help from the staff. They also provide a large shower room if they have to work with the patients more. They have two options that way. They offer an incontinence care package, which is very helpful for Mom. That's an additional fee, but it's very nice. The nice thing about their common areas is that it's more open and the patients aren't all just crammed into one small spot. The common dining area is central. It's enclosed in kind of an atrium-type style, so you can see all around it. It's more like a restaurant. My brother and sister-in-law had a snack there with them. They had some pumpkin pie, and they said it was really good. My mom doesn't vocalize very well, but she seems to be eating better than in the previous facility. They have many activities. On my mom's move-in day, she baked brownies, they played some sort of game with balloons, and they had puzzles. She has participated, which is far better than in the other facility. The grounds are very pretty with manicured grass. There's always a caregiver out there with the residents, but they can go out and wander and be secure on the grounds. Besides the incontinence package, they also have a salon, which is great. You work directly with the salon like you would an outside salon. They also have a van that goes on rides and little shopping trips. Mom hasn't gotten to do those yet. She has only been there about five days. It's a little bit on the pricey side though. "

"Spring Gardens Draper had a very homey and comfortable atmosphere. The staff who toured me around was very welcoming, very informative, and just very easy to talk to. We liked that there weren't set hours when they had to go to the cafeteria to eat. The apartment had a little kitchenette with a good-sized refrigerator, but you had to bring your own microwave and furniture. They had a big courtyard in the middle. They had barbecues and other activities there. There were nice places to sit with tables with umbrellas and garden space."

"There are many excellent things about this facility. One of those things is the personalized services. The staff really make an effort to get to know the residents. While I was there visiting a friend, a member of staff stopped to chat with my friend, asking about her great grandchildren and where her youngest grandchild was going to college now that she graduated from high school. Of course, my friend then had to pull up her many beloved pictures, especially of the newest member of the family who was only three weeks old and just came in the mail a few days before. It really warmed my heart to see how much of an interest the staff have in the residents. "

"We went to Sagewood at Daybreak. It was the nicest community we visited. They had really good food. The people said hi to the staff as we walked through, so evidently they're friendly and welcoming. The only reason we didn't choose that one was that it was farther away from our children, and it was very expensive. Nevertheless, the facility was clean, nice, neat, and very new."

"Creekside Senior Living is a new facility, and I was very impressed with it. It's really nice and had food available anytime. The people were nice, and they had a memory unit available. The grounds were wonderful. They had a putting green and a pond for fishing. The place was well-kept. You can have a meal any time, and if it's after hours you can go down to their bistro where they had yogurt or fruits. They had exercise facilities and a laundry place. The pricing was reasonable."

"BeeHive Homes a very good place, my mom is happy here. They are right on top of everything. The staff is accommodating and attentive. She's got a single room with a single bed, a dresser, a bathroom, and a shower. I had her in other places, and she really liked this place. "

"The rooms are great and clean. Everyone has been so nice and helpful to make my Mom feel at home. She loves the entertainment and other activities. She even got to prune the roses which she loved. I would highly recommend this place."

"What a wonderful place is Highland Glen. We had the opportunity to move our Mother in a few years ago and she enjoyed her time here until her recent passing. The entire staff is wonderful, thoughtful and helpful and so patient and understanding with those in the assisted care side of the facility. "
